Nature Is

Nature is astonishing.
It's sunburnt lands and vast oceans,
it's beautiful rainforests and snowy mountains.
Nature is the hot sun and a cool breeze.
Its the humming of the birds,
it's the buzzing of the bees.
Nature is amazing.
It's the smell of crisp morning air in autumn,
it's the scent of blossoming flowers in spring.
Nature is forgiving.
It's the wildlife caring for their young,
it's the birth of new life.
Nature is being destroyed.
Its air filled with smoke and greed,
its oceans choked with filfth.
Nature doesn't need us, but we need it.
